If you go outside you are going to get some friction where the sheets bend at your aft stanchions, but if you go inside the guy will rub on the lifelines, but only when you are running. I think I would definitely put them inside if I anticipated doing any reaching (which is when you really need them anyway). You might try them outside when you are doing windward-leewards. (It also depends somewhat on how far forward you have them led on the rail).

>>Sailed my new (old) Express for the first time last night and, of course, have my first silly question: the twings. Inside or outside the lifelines? I was assuming inside ala a J-24 but it looks like that puts a lot of wear on the twings or the guy...
